Thank you Easter bunny

Each day is such a new adventure for Carter, and Easter didn't disappoint. Carter woke up to an Easter basket full of mostly toys, some candy. He looked at each thing with such interest. He got a football, soccer ball and basketball, 2 movies, a stuffed duck that quacks and a basketball hoop and another ball. His big thing right now is getting as close as he can to you and throwing the ball as hard as he can, all the while saying "SHOOOOOOOT"! That's my little wildcat!



Although I know I am a bit biased, he looked adorable, just like an Easter egg, in his purple shirt and green sweater vest. After church, we are at Brandon's grandmothers and awaited the time for the annual Easter egg hunt. Carter and Brandon's cousin who is in second grade were the only little ones there this year, so they each got their own hunt. This hunt is so important because each egg carries a dollar amount. You get $1 for each egg, except if you find the one with the star on it, you get $10. Carter found 13 eggs, including 1 with a star. We had a practice round at nursery school on Thursday, so Carter was ready to go once we set him loose. Each time he found an egg and threw it (literally) into his bucket, he said "YEEEAAAA". It was too cute!

After the hunt, Carter discovered his new favorite food- PEEPS! He loved, no savored, each bite he took with those first few. Now, when he gets one, he just devours it.

This Easter was definitely one to remember. I'd be remiss if I didn't take a moment to remember what this holiday is all about and the blessings we have been given because of the Gift given to us. Last weekend, we went with some friends of ours to Louisville to see Southeast Christian Church's Easter Pageant. It was phenomenal- I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see the story of Christ laid out before their eyes. The tickets usually go on sale in January, so if you want to go next year, get them early. You won't be sorry.
